Endowed chairs are one of the highest recognitions that can be awarded to a faculty member by their university. They are essential to recruiting, retaining and honoring top minds in academia. Endowed chairs come with annual funding that faculty can use to support graduate students or otherwise initiate new lines of creative research. This flexible funding is often game-changing when it comes to launching new cross-disciplinary research collaborations and generating preliminary results needed to successfully obtain multi-year research funding.
